BISD Administrators Invited to Summit

Two BISD high school principals, Teri Alarcon from Hanna High School and Dawn Hall from Brownsville Early College High School, have received personal invitations to participate in the upcoming VistaSummit: Focus on Education to be held on Tuesday, April 17 at the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg. The VistaSummit, the second to be held in the Rio Grande Valley, will bring together a specific group of educational leaders and community partners. The goal of the summit is to develop a regional action plan with fundable projects centered on the region’s greatest asset – its people. Alarcon and Hall were invited to participate in a candid, intimate dialogue with national experts and foundation and philanthropic leaders about the future of education in the Rio Grande Valley. “It is an honor for Brownsville ISD to have two high school principals included in the upcoming VistaSummit. Ms. Alarcon and Ms. Hall are extremely knowledgeable and will have much to contribute to this dialogue about education in our Valley,” said Dr. Carl A. Montoya.
